New Engine Sitting

I have rebuilt the 250 six for my truck project. Its never been started. It has already been sitting for almost a year and will probably be sitting for a few more as I finish the truck. It is basically a long block with the tins in place. I am slowly working on intake, exhaust, accessories and of course the rest of the truck. I keep it covered and I have oiled the inside well with assembly lube and engine oil. I wd40'd the bare parts of inside to prevent rust. It does have the clutch and trans attached to it.

Should I occasionally turn the motor over? Should I fill it with oil and prime the oil system occasionally? Should I install the starter and use the starter to turn it over while i spin the oil pump? Whats the best thing to do here?
